With Thanksgiving and the holidays approaching, the American Red Cross urges donors to continue to make and keep appointments now and in the weeks ahead to help overcome the ongoing emergency blood and platelet shortage that has significantly impacted the nation’s blood supply.
In fact, the current blood supply is the lowest the Red Cross has seen this time of year in more than a decade.
There are numerous blood drives scheduled for around Eastern Wisconsin throughout the month of November.
You can view them all and sign up to donate by going to RedCrossBlood.org, or you can give them a call at 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
